Champions League Final - Liverpool v AC Milan - 09:57

Champions League
This morning I witnessed one of the most remarkable games of football I have ever seen. SBS, my very favourite TV Station in the world showed me every second of the delights of a dramatic game that brought me to tears. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I was a supporter of AC or the Reds.
As many of you will know Liverpool finally won the game, but to go down by one in the first few minutes, then by three by the time the ref blew for half time even the most dedicated Liverpool supporter must have thought it was all over. Champagne must of been at hand at the San Siro. Then, inspired Liverpool in an inspirational 7 minutes brought themselves back to 3-3. It was at this point where the tears started welling up in my eyes.
The only other sporting event that matches the drama in my mind is when Greg Lemond beat Laurent Fignon by a very small margin in the final time trial of the tour to win the GC by 7 seconds.
Nobody could have written the drama of the final, this is why I love sport. Football reflects life.
